03x18 - Roman Holiday

[bunniefuu]

Oh, hello, Mr. Walters.

Hello, Bub.

Come in.

Is Steve home?

Yes, he is.

I'm sorry to barge in on Sunday.

I tried to get Steve on the phone,
but the line's been busy all afternoon.

Oh, is that so?

Oh, signing off, Henry.

Oh, come on right in.

He's right here.

Hi, Mr. Walters.

Hi, Mike.

Steve.

Hi, fellas.

Hi, Mr. Walters.

Oh, hi, Joe.

What are you doing here?

Some new crisis out of the plant?

Well, in a way, I stopped by to start you
packing for a little emergency trip.

Uh-huh.

Where to this time, Joe?

Oh, you remember Carlo Passanetti?

Oh, yeah.

I worked with Carlo two years ago when he was here.

Uh, Joe?

Joe?

He's, uh, heading some aircraft firm over
in Europe now, is he?

That's the guy.

Passanetti Altair Corporation.

We've been negotiating with him for the
past couple of months.

We just about have our wonderful deal sewed up.

Oh, that's great, Joe.

Passanetti called me this morning,
and we agreed that the best thing to do

would be to have you fly over and clear things up.

Fly to Europe?

We made the reservations.

You have to be in Rome by Tuesday.

Oh, boy, now, look who's got it.

Hey, Gina Lola Brigida.

Rome, huh?

You got anything against Rome?

No, no, I... It's a wonderful place.

I was there during the w*r.

It's just that, uh... Well, Joe, I
wish you'd send somebody else.

The boys are going to be out of school
next week, you know, midterm vacations, and.

...

Dad, don't miss a trip like this because of us.

Yeah, we'll miss you, but we'll be okay.

Dad, you could take my camera and get some
great shots of the points of interest.

If you can get one of them to stand still.

I'm sorry you're going to have to send somebody else, Joe.

Steve, I can't send anyone else.

I'll tell you what.

It's worth it to the company.

Take the boys with you.

Oh, boy, you're kidding.

I was wrong.

Sudsy thinks he's so great because he went
to the state capitol.

Does that solve your problem, Steve?

Well, Joe, it's very generous of you,
but I'll have to think it over.

Think it over?

I'll call you tonight.

Well, what's there to think over?

Steve, what you need is a crying towel.

Bub, I don't want to talk about it.

Well, I do.

It's going to be tough going back to a lot
of those old spots.

I know that, Steve.

I've been a lot of places that bring back memories ever.

But you weren't there, Bub.

Nothing wrong.

The Borghese Gardens, the farms of Trevi,
the Spanish Steps, that little restaurant where we.

...

Why did it have to be Rome, Bub?

Why couldn't it have been some other place?

I just can't go back there.

Let's leave it at that.

You know, I never did understand how she
managed to get there so soon after the w*r ended.

Well, she knew you were stuck there.

That you couldn't get back to Bryant Park,
so she went to Rome.

Those must have been great days.

The greatest.

Tell the boys to start packing, hmm?

Okay, Steve.

Hey, you fellas, get packed.

Next stop will be Rome.

Rome?

Hey, oh boy, that's great.

Hey, oh boy, that's great.

Hey, oh boy, that's great.

Go on, grab your bags, boys.

Looks like a house to me.

Well,

yeah, what kind of shape do you think you'd
be in if you were a couple of thousand years old?

Speaking of shape, where are the local inhabitants?

Okay.

Gracias.

Hasta la cost a.

Gracias.

Ciao.

An.

Italian girl right here?

Hey, that's what I call service.

Well, Mike, there might be one or two Italian girls
Those that aren't quite, well, what you have in mind.

Signor Douglas, Ben arrivato.

I am Sofia.

Good morning.

Prego, entrate, entrate.

Si, entrate.

Hey, seems kind of like a weird omelet.

I think it's some kind of Italian fritter.

What do you think it is, Dad?

I, uh, I really don't know, Mike.

E all or a, more americana flop-a-Jack.

Flop-a-Jack?

Si, just like a home.

Well, that's what they are.

Oh, I could need another one.

Thank you, Sophia.

Oh, no, thanks.

Uh, non più per me grazie.

What is that?

What's the what?

That.

Oh, that's the hair.

Hair?

We got the hair in the pipes.

Oh, I think she means air in the water pipes.

Si, si, you smart a ragazza, Miguel.

Oh, that was a smart boy.

Sophia, do you think I speak enough
Italian to, uh, communicate?

With Italian girl?

Who needs to speak?

It is done with the off-key.

Prego.

Chip, you like to eat the Italian spaghetti?

You bet.

Va bene.

While Miguel, he look at the women,
and Roberto make the photograph,

you come over to Sophia.

We go by the grocery.

Come on, you come over.

Excuse me.

Gee, Dad, I can go shopping at home.

Well, it's a little different here, Chip.

You'll have a very interesting experience.

Well, I come clear over to Rome just to go.

A grocery store?

Oh, you'll have fun, you'll see.

See you later.

See you.

Well, I'm off to the Via Veneto.

I'll get my camera and go with you.

Oh, no, Rob, why don't you find some guys your own age?

Well, don't worry, Mike, I won't cramp your style.

I'll just record your action for posterity.

Okay.

Dad, you want to come along?

No, no thanks.

I'd better stick around here and wait for
Mr. Possimetti's call.

I imagine he'll want to get together with
me as soon as possible.

You fellas go along and have a good time.

Okay.

What's that?

I think this time it's just the phone, Rob.

Peter Tewksbury, George Tibbles.

That must be Mr. Possimetti now.

Mike, what's wrong with Dad?

What do you mean?

Well, he isn't a bit excited about being in Rome again.

He's kind of got that far away look.

Well, heck, he isn't here to have fun like we are.

It's business with him.

He's just preoccupied.

Yeah, I guess.

Well, when do you expect him back from Milan?

After the road races.

Well, when will that be?

Not till late this afternoon.

Well, what does he expect me to do all day?

Yes, Miss Bernaducci, I know this is Roma.

Well, thank you very much for the suggestion.

But when he gets back, just have him call
me here at the villa, will you?

I'll be here all day.

Leo's Holiday Sale.

Hurry in.

Mr.

Wants it to be seriously performed.

Do you want to go?

Yes.

Rome to study history.

I want to make some.

It's all done with the a*s, people.

Cento lire.

Cento lire?

How come he charges so much for one bunch of carrots?

h* una famiglia da mantenere, capisce?

What did he say?

He said because he has a big family to feed.

Io ti pago a metà.

La metà.

Dammi le tre quarti, capisce?

Tre quarti.

Ladro, svergognato.

Mano iolo.

Lei c'hai coraggio di rub are la vostra
cegata nonne di squarezzi.

I say to him, I give him a half.

He say three quarters.

I say, you crook, you thief.

You have the courage to take from your
blind grandmother her teeth.

It's just like going to market with Bub.

Se la lo permetta, va bene così.

E' molto giusto.

Io prendo lo, va bene.

E' molto giusto.

Well, not exactly like going to market with Bub.

Come on, Kim.

Oh, what a prank, not even scratch.

Oh, oh, mi scusa.

Lei deve venire nella Mia casa e si lascia
rip a rare il time.

Nice to have met you.

Thank you very much.

Per favore, venga, la Mia casa è solo UN
po' e passi da qui.

Look, I don't know if you're saying
something nice or if you're sore.

It's the Italiano.

I don't speak the Italiano.

I speak English.

Oh, great.

I say, that is my pencil.

Where?

And what is the time of day?

Can you show me to the Stazione Modirero?

That's great.

It's better than I could ever do.

I better begin along.

Per favore, venga.

Mia casa.

Mia casa.

Laveremo il suo braccio e lo faceremo.

Oh, I get it.

E ricuciremo la sua giacca.

Oh, you want me to go to your place so you
can fix my arm and so my jacket?

Si, si.

Well, how about that?

We just broke through the ravioli curtain.

E poi ci avremo qualcosa da mangiare.

And then we'll have something to eat.

Si, molto grazie.

Bravo, you speak Italian.

Well, sure.

Just like I need it.

Get on the bike.

Oh, grazie.

Bravo, bravo.

Sophia, can I take Pasquale for a walk?

Sure, yes.

You go ahead to take.

Just stay in the backyard, won't you, Chip?

Okay.

Have a little more hot coffee there, Sophia?

Si, just to make it some nice and fresh.

Good.

Always in Rome, you find what you look for.

Miguel with the girls, Roberto with the
photographs, Chip with the singing and the pasta.

Ma, you, signor, what are you looking for?

Me?

I'm just on business, Sophia.

Business, business, business.

Ma, Rome is not in your heart, only your pocketbook.

You been here to Rome before?

Yes, I was, uh, I was here during the w*r.

Oh, I see.

Ma, never do you come to sit in the
sunshine, to catch the breeze on the top

of the hill, to take the carriage ride to
the Borghese Gardens in the moonlight?

You make very good coffee, Sophia.

Like always, Sophia, talk too much.

Things are not our business.

Dad!

Ciao!

Ciao, Sophia!

Ciao, Rob.

Boy, wait till you hear about that time I had today.

Well, what happened?

Well, I was taking a picture, and I stepped
off the curb when I got run over by a bicycle.

And this guy doesn't speak English, but
his mother did, so she fixed my sleeve, see?

Yeah, you're lucky it was just a bicycle, huh?

Yeah.

Boy, you ought to see this palace this guy lives in.

They've got statues and tapestries and all
kind of junk on the wall, and you know what?

This guy is just as hot on photography as I am.

He's got his own darkroom and everything, so we're going to

get together tomorrow, and
we're going to work on our films.

At least that's what I think he said, because it's
really a kid because he doesn't speak English.

Dad, you ought to see this place.

It's just like a movie.

Big rooms with fountains and paintings,
and his mother from Wearsville.

What's the matter with her?

Well, she's all wrapped up in this black
stuff with veils, and she sits in this

chair, you know, with the carpet stuff in the back and
these carved arms, and that's where she stays all day long.

She never goes out of the house.

In fact, she hasn't been out of the house for six years.

Why not, Rob?

Dad, this is going to frost you.

She doesn't go out of the house because
she's a widow and she doesn't want to see

any of the places she saw with her
husband, which includes most of Rome.

Now, how is that for an Italian movie script?

Boy.

But you know, like they say, life has to go on.

I guess she just wants to feel sorry for herself.

I guess maybe that's it, Rob.

Boy, it sure is rough on Giovanni and his sister.

I imagine it is.

What'd you do today, Dad?

Oh, uh, I stayed around the house here.

I read over some technical papers.

You mean you stayed here in the house all day?

In Rome?

It does sound like I'm wasting a city, doesn't it?

Yeah, I'll say.

Sophia, I'm, uh, I'm going out and look around a little.

I won't be here for supper.

If Mr. Parsonetti calls, tell him I'll get
together with him tomorrow.

Ciao.

Ciao, Daddy.

Oh, Rubenino, oh, you're such a nice boy.

I'm going to cook anything you want for supper.

You tell me, what do you want?

Oh, um, how about some, um, some pizza?

Pizza?

Va bene.

You're such a smart boy.

I think you better want.

Signora.

Si?

Yesterday, today, my show, why not?

I'm going to bring my family out.

I want you to take a picture of them.

I think you're beautiful, signora.

The Borghese Gardens is a place to remember.

I know.

Allora, domani, eh?

So,

is Signor Golino still the owner here?

Si.

I wonder if I could talk to him.

If he isn't busy.

Again for you, Signor.

Thank you.

I,

Uh, I asked to see Signor Golino.

I am Signor Golino.

Well, the Signor Golino I wanted to see was,
uh... Was a portly man with a white mustache?

Yes.

Si, that was my father, Signor.

He is retired now and lives in the south, in Palermo.

Well, it's been a long time since I was here.

Well, time passes, Signor.

Yes.

And, uh, life goes on.

A very wise man said that same thing to me
just this afternoon.

Oh?

Who was that, Signor?

Uh, Rob Douglas, uh, an American philosopher.

Ah.

Well, uh, Signor, it is so, uh,
kind of you to visit us again.

And if you will permit, I would like to
send over some special wine.

On behalf of my father and myself, of course.

Well, that's very kind of you.

Thank you.

Si.

Thank you, Marco.

You wish a special song, signor?

Well, uh, yes.

Would you play Il Mare Tranquillo?

Il Mare Tranquillo.

I'm sorry, I do not know this song, signor.

Oh.

Well, play something you like.

Va bene.

E.

Questo ristorante è buono?

Eh, si, è buono.

Ah, signor.

Are.

You in just one momento?

Oh, that'll be fine, thanks.

I see.

He.

Spoke English, and it's easier.

Well, is there a native of tongue or
Bridgeport to Connecticut?

Don't.

Worry about him spending the rest of the evening with us.

My dad's pretty hip.

He'll eat dinner with us, and then we'll
be on our separate ways.

Good, good.

You no get in the kitchen again, signor?

No, I'll just take a nap, huh?

Bene.

Please, signor.

Young lady and the gentleman, just a
little more closer together.

My pleasure.

I think about F-8 at a hundredth, don't you?

What do you say, Rob?

We're discussing exposures.

Yeah, but you don't speak Italian,
he doesn't speak English.

How can you discuss it?

It's me, but we've been doing it now for two days.

Yes, very.

Signor Douglas, is Rome not a city?

Is Rome a city for the heart?

Yes, Sophia, Rome is a city for the heart.

That's good, that's good.

Now, everybody, please smile and say pizza!

Pizza!

Pizza!
